I did not write the Slipstreaming article, that would be Brett Venter aka Drakonis.
And unfortunately I don't post all that much because I am usually busy and therefore only monitor the PCF section.
Slipstreaming won't actually incorporate the software you want into the actual install. What you want to be looking into is the Sysprep tool.DeathStrike wrote:I am working on my own ultimate windows DVD. i have so far added OFFICE 2007 and Windows XP and avast and comodo firwall to it as well as a few other applications that i use often. i was just wondering how can i make the office installation automatic? cos at the momemnt i still need to go through all the windows to select options. like how do i enter serial and make silent install. at the moment i am using a runonce command to run the office setup after windows installs. this works great but i still must manually enter info.
It's because you were mentioned that's why!KillerByte wrote:WOW, I have honestly never seen a thread go so pear shaped since the Great Pear-Shaped Thread of 2006.
Seriously, PCF has to put pictures of hot females on the cover just to get it off the shelf, what do you think a picture of KB's ugly mug in the mag will do? People will never touch it again, no matter how hot the chick!Anthropoid wrote:The picture is of YOU infront of that slipstreaming in progress...
